Essie "Vinyl Bikini"



I've found a beautiful new nailpolish (new to me, that is); it's by Essie and it's called "Vinyl Bikini". It's unimpressive in the bottle... looks like a combination of skim milk and water. But when it's on your nails, it gives a super shiny, semi-sheer finish that's glossy like clear polish, lets the natural color of your hopefully healthy nail beds show through, but has enough opacity to give a slightly fake finish, too. It's kind of like the effect of a French manicure, but less Stepford Wife-ish.
I know Essie's Ballet Slippers pink is their bestselling color and blah blah, but that baby pink business is just not suited to everyone's taste. Seriously--it's all about Vinyl Bikini! And honestly, what's sexier... ballet slippers, or vinyl bikinis? Mmhmm.
